The perfect combination of practical and theoretical insights attracted me to this course and university. The school is renowned within the industry as one of the best places to train as a journalist. The lecturers are highly committed to producing journal articles, which creates an intense learning environment and fuels my eagerness to delve deeper into political communication and media.

The Media, Society, and International Crises module is a highlight of the course so far. This module explored the early reportage of specific international crises and involved engaging in interviews or case studies. I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar discussions, which encouraged everyone to voice their ideas and gain confidence in conveying their messages.

Throughout my studies, the tutors and lecturers have been incredibly supportive. They are always available for open discussions outside of class and readily schedule meetings to provide guidance and mentorship. Their availability and willingness to help have been invaluable in my academic journey.

After I finish university, I plan to pursue a PhD. The knowledge and skills I have gained from this course will be instrumental in this pursuit. The modules have nurtured my critical thinking abilities, allowing me to analyse complex issues and become a more discerning scholar. The MA program has shaped my perspective and equipped me with the tools necessary to contribute meaningfully to the academic discourse in political communication and media.
